Marino's La Passione - Kirkcaldy

Henry P.

I have been going to Marino’s with my dad since I was 9 years old and have always sung its praises. But Marino’s is under new management and I’m very disappointed.

Curry sauce, chicken wings and black pudding now feature on what used to be a very authentic Italian menu. Only one pizza featured. No alcohol license at the moment, but wouldn’t be surprised if that changes in the future. Food was low quality - aside from the bruschetta which was great. The service was also good.

Food arrived hot which is a plus as many local takeaways find it acceptable to deliver your meal stone cold. Food was good esp pizza, would order again every once in a while as well. Good portion sizes.

Lovely food, recommend the Risotto Valencia. Service was good, the wait staff are lovely. Atmosphere was a bit low as it wasn't too busy, but I imagine when busy the place is very lively and fun.

The food was wonderful! I had the stracciatella soup as the starter, then the lasagna al forno as the main course, and finally the banana fantasia as the dessert. Afterward we had a cappuccino. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere, there were Christmas decorations. The waiter was also very friendly to us. We will definitely come back!

I came here a week ago with my sisters and we all ordered from the lunch menu which was not only very reasonably priced for a three course meal but with a lot to choose from. I had the prawn cocktail for starters and sea bass for the main course. When it came to dessert we were given a list of choices and I was hoping there would be my favourite Italian dessert Tiramisu... Alas they didn't have any so I opted for the lemon meringue pie which was lovely. The staff and the owner were all super friendly and very accommodating and so I decided to come back with my husband today. I had battered prawns with chilli dip for starters and lamb chops for the main course which were absolutely delicious. When the waiter came to tell us the dessert list the first thing on that list was Tiramisu! That was it for me, I didn't need to hear the rest of the desserts. When it was served, omg it was so beautifully presented it was almost a shame to eat it. I'm glad I did though because it was the best Tiramisu I've had.
I want to say thank you to all the staff and the owner of Marino's for looking after us so well. It is a lovely restaurant with beautiful decor and authentic Italian music. Pure joy to be there!

My go-to for quick fix of Italian food in Kirkcaldy. Fresh seafood! I’ve always ordered the pizza and pasta. My favourite would be the seafood pasta, verdure(grilled vegetable) and contadina pizza. Some days Marino is there working in the kitchen. It’s sad to hear that the crowd has gotten less after pandemic.

1rst class service, wine was stunning and the food was home made hearty itallian comfort like velvet. I truly cannot say enough in my honest opinion this is Scotland's finest most authentic itallian resteraunt.
